Do you ever look at your parents and think......

Mum/Dad is way out of Dad/Mums league?
I cant help but think this as I get older. After discovering pickup and loads of self development books, as a son, I cant help but feel like my dad settled for my mum......but could've done wayyyyyyy better.(I still love her)
I remember as a young child visiting my godfather and always could sense, that he didn't really like my mum too much, and always wondered why.

But comparing MUM to DAD, I find it TOOO easy to see the areas in personality my dad has worked on and developed while my mother still- lacks friendly/calm communication skills, not with just me but strangers. This aint just off the cuff either, I went through some of my dads old photo albums from when he used to go clubbing, and he always had REALLY attractive girls on his arms. But when I saw a pic of my mum- she was CONSIDERABLY less attractive than them.........(HE met my mum when out clubbing btw) I even remember at Wireless Festival I was talking to a group of girls - they saw my dad n said - Ohh Maa Gawwd is that your Dad!?!?Hes soooo Hot. (bearing in mind hes 50 odd and they were HOT girls not fat albinos.lol)

Imma keep it soooo real right now with this next statement. My mum looked like a girl - who would have had to give it up easy to my father for him to take her - put it lightly - she was an ugly 19/20 yr old. No need to lie cuz i can be honest with myself. Not only that - she let herself go ALOTTTTTT. Whereas my dad whose only a few years younger has been going gym weekly since I was a small child, and is huge as fuck. esp for 50 odd yrs old. He may not be growing much anymore, but its easy to tell when talking to them that my dad has definately worked on communication skills, attracting women, fitness and health, and most IMPORTANTLY his psychology. I can tell becuz he dropped out of school b4 my mum and has much higher awareness/consciousness. SO it only figures he worked on this outside of school.

I dunno, maybe I'm an asshole. But even my dad has said to my mum in arguments "sometimes I wonder why I married you" because she can be unpleasant to be around. Im 20 now, and sometimes cant help but agree with that statement. My mum is like a more miserable, less desirable 25 year old. She feels entitled to my dads care and love, and (lifts to places) and she can be a real DICK to him at times. I truly believe had me and my little sister not been born - my dad would have divorced her, and left her for a much hotter woman. I even wonder sometimes if I was the result of accidental pregnancy and my mum basically trapped my dad. hmmm

Wat about you guys n galls?
Ever had the thought that ur Mum or Dad is out of their partners league? (Step-parents dont count becuz ur prob biased against them)

    Maybe your mom has other qualities to compensate for her lacking in other areas.

    Not everyone has naturally good communication skills, it isn't something you can work on

      You can work on it. That's why they have communication skills workshops.

        Not if it's a blind spot with you, like if you have Asperger's.

    • I cant help it dude.
      Sometimes when they fight I will catch myself looking at my Dad thinking "I don't get how you can put up with this woman......"
      IKR...distaste for your own mother - should be ashamed :/

        well maybe its more that you don't like or get along with your mom rather than the whole "league" thing.
        My mom was a great person but my dad was a cheap, lying sack of doggie doo. They were even looks-wise if it matters.

    My mom was way out of my fathers league. Shes so smart and pretty. She left him when I was a baby, so she knew lol. I think step parents should count. My mom has been married 4 times and the first 3 including my dad she was out of their league. The 4th one even tho he wasnt as smart as my mom, who by this point graduated from college an honor student, he was such a nice guy. Long story short they separated my brothers ruins that one. But they remained friends.
    Im with my bf and we have a child. As far as looks im out of his league.however he is smart has a great personality and stuff. So sometimes you might think people are settling for someone if u just base it on looks alone but there might be other reasons why they are a good match.

    • Your talking about a very shallow/ simplistic view
      "Ohhh my dads hot and my mums ugly"
      I mean on a much more basic SKILL level. I.e Communication, abilities, discipline, self control, awareness etc. My Dad looks like Ghandi/Eckhart Tolle standing next to my mum.
      I'm saying not only is my dad better looking for his gender. But hes also wayyyy past her in self understanding.
      And honestly it painted a very negative frame early on for me of women as being, annoying creatures who will EVENTUALLY let themselves go.obbz i changed that

        I mentioned smart...my mom is very intelligent way more so then my father. She also never really let herself go...she noticed she gained weight and worked on losing it and now runs almost every day. My father is not a bad guy but he did a lot of drugs and I think it might have effected his intelligence you have to dumb down your conversations with him. He also doesn't seem very ambitious to me job wise. Like he is mostly unemployed and very lazy....were as my mom is not lazy and works hard on her goals/dreams.
        and im glade you changed your veiw of women.

    Sometimes girls that are really good at sex, don't look all that hot. Maybe she had a very sensual sense of touch.

      I agree I mean my mom is way out of my dad league. He noticed ig and that's why they split. Now that my dad met my step mom I begin to relies my real mom is like a cheerleader to my dad's football player. And my step mom is like a nerd to my dad's football player....aka my dad should have stayed with my real mom, she had a better chance.

        Marriages are important, but so are careers. His history is already written. Yours isn't. Get positioned for your place in the world that's a little more challenging than you think you can handle. The personal growth feels good.
